Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.” ~ John 13:9-10, NIV
You say I'm clean?
But I feel so dirty,
so worthless.
I know, though,
it's my insecurity,
my self-hatred talking.
I know that I'm pretty clean
though I could be better,
but you'll take me as I am
and the dirt is okay
as long as I'm looking to Power
to tell me when I need to work
to clean up the mess
but more than that
when I need to hear,
"You're fine, you're loved."
